About Girls'"Difficulties" in Science: A Social, Not a Personal, Matter.
Jeffe, Donna B.
Teachers College Record, v97 n2 p206-26 Win 1995
Reviews the historical, social, and political context of women's experiences in science and math, challenging stereotypes that girls historically have had difficulties and suggesting that treating such difficulties as historical and personal in the absence of careful analyses of the social and political dimensions of women's experiences only perpetuates stereotypes.
